New World Class Facility for the University of South Australia’s Cancer Research Institute

June 20, 2019

The University of South Australia’s Cancer Research Institute has introduced a world-class research, teaching and public engagement facility into Adelaide’s expanding health and biomedical precinct.


In the June 2019 edition of AIRAH Ecolibrium magazine, Sean McGowan reports on the services-heavy nature of the new cancer research institute, which required a holistic approach to its design, construction and commissioning.

As the independent commissioning agent, A.G. Coombs Advisory was primarily engaged on the institute project to provide LEED CxA (commissioning authority) project services.

“We were engaged in late 2014 when the project was still in schematic design. It was exciting to be involved at this early stage, and this allowed A.G. Coombs Advisory to contribute more effectively through the provision of technical reviews that extended well beyond commissioning advice to include constructability advise and safety-in-design assessments.” – Warwick Stannus, A.G. Coombs Group Engineering Manager.
